Explanation

Let's analyze each pair: 1. Burzahom : Rock-cut shrines: This pair is incorrectly matched. Burzahom is a Neolithic site located in Kashmir, famous for its pit dwellings, pottery, and unique burial practices (including burying dogs with humans). It is not known for rock-cut shrines. 2. Chandra-ketugarh : Terracotta art: This pair is correctly matched. Chandraketugarh, an archaeological site in West Bengal, is renowned for its rich findings of terracotta art and artifacts, dating from the Mauryan period to the Gupta period. 3. Ganeshwar : Copper artefacts: This pair is correctly matched. Ganeshwar, located in Rajasthan, is a significant Chalcolithic (Copper Age) site. It is well-known for the extensive discovery of copper objects, and it is believed to have been a major source of copper for the Harappan civilization. Therefore, pairs 2 and 3 are correctly matched.
